The Stamp Act:
-was passed by Parliament in 1776
-caused the Boston Massacre
-was the first direct tax levied by England on the colonies
-sparked protest in the colonies
The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 by Parliament, so the first choice is wrong. The Stamp Act did lead to the events of the Boston Massacre along with the Townshend Act, as the colonists did not like being taxed without representation in British Parliament. The Stamp Act was the first direct tax levied by Britain onto the colonies and it did in fact spark protests in the colonies.
